North Shire Lodge & Manchester offers beautiful winter scenes.

Winter in Manchester, Vermont is nothing short of magical – a quintessential New England scene where snowflakes drift gently over the historic downtown, frosted evergreens frame the valley, and the Green and Taconic mountain ranges rise like white-tipped sentinels in the distance. The season invites adventure and serenity alike: world-class skiing and snowboarding at nearby Stratton and Bromley Mountains, peaceful snowshoeing and cross-country trails through the woods, sleigh rides through snowy fields, and ice skating at the Riley Rink offer days filled with outdoor joy. When the cold beckons you inside, explore cozy boutiques, acclaimed galleries, and warm cafés that line Main Street, or simply return to crackling fires and soft lounges at North Shire Lodge, where comfort and charm await after every winter’s day.

What a cute place! My boyfriend and I stayed here 2 nights during our vacation and we loved it. Beautiful scenery, it was quiet and peaceful in the room, and the hosts were so kind. The hot breakfast each morning was delicious too. We couldn’t recommend this place enough! Katelyn C – Google
